This paper will discuss why training and education is vital to healthcare, the importance of measuring competencies in healthcare, and describe the process for tracking and evaluating training effectiveness in healthcare. Training & Education There are many types of healthcare jobs available and most of them require some type of training and education. Therefore, it is critical that employees are properly trained and educated to fulfil the job requirements. Every action of the employee must be done in the correct fashion to protect themselves and the organization. Ensuring proper training and education can minimize error on an employee or company’s behalf. There are also state and federal standards that must be upheld by each healthcare organization and healthcare employee. For that reason, each employee must be properly trained and educated on these standards. This may prevent the company and employee from any lawsuits filed against them. Importance of Measuring Competencies Competence is the outcome of education and training. Measuring competence is valuable...

...health (OSH) plays an important role in the prevention of occupational injuries and diseases in Malaysia. In Malaysia, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) was function to promote safety and health awareness, safety and health culture among the Malaysian culture. There have been many improvements since the enactment of this act like OSH service, education, promotion and research. OSH awareness plays a crucial role to prevent occupational injuries and disease among healthcare professional. Many awareness activities can be used to build positive and good attitude and enhance safe behaviors among workers. Each worker must fully understand occupational risk and danger in order to take care of their own health and safety. Many methods can be used to prevent and minimize occupational hazard such as safe work practices, appropriate tools, work organization and supplying enough information to the workers. Workers should well informed about hazards and adequately trained to carry out their tasks safely. Training enables workers to perform their job safely, protect their health and lives as well as their co-workers. OSH training at all level is important at all...

...Assignment : Human Resource Management Topic : Training and education in healthcare Submitted by : Vasudha kansal PRN : 12040141077 Training and Education are vital in Health Care Education is important to ensure that critical risk management and loss control information is presented to, understood and utilized by healthcare professionals and staff. These educational and training programs provide the tools required to move toward s Energized, committed and educated employees make a positive difference in a patient’s healthcare experience; untrained and undereducated employees lead to potentially unsatisfactory service situations. This is critically important since most malpractice claims and lawsuits are pursued based on patients’ feelings about those potential communication and service lapses. Developing the Loss Control Culture Research consistently shows that often the cause of malpractice claims is miscommunication and service lapses, not actual malpractice. A loss control program that focuses on eliminating service and communication lapses and stresses the importance of service excellence creates an environment where everyone wants to work and practice. More importantly, an environment is created in which the...

In nearly all developing countries the rate of urban unemployment in the 15-24 age group is at least double the rate of all other age groups. These high rates of urban unemployment in this age bracket are also seen in developed countries, although the rates are far lower than...

...military troops are required to complete multiple varieties of tasks. Not only are they required to complete the tasks but everyone must be able to complete most of these tasks the same way. This can be difficult as not one platoon, flight, group (depending on which branches they are in the groups are called different names) has the same diversity of people. The people will be vastly different; there will be different economic classes, different racial classes, and different educational classes just to name a few. All these different people arrive at one location and are expected to complete tasks the same way by the time that they graduate their basic military training. According to Vassillis Kosstakos’s article “Training users vs. Training soldiers: Experiences from the Battlefield”1 the military uses a handful of training techniques. The one that they use the most is group learning. This does not only mean that people are put into a group to learn, this means that while you are in that group punishment from mistakes was made out in the open. This is done so that all in the group will see what happens when a wrong is done. This helps to break the...

...pThe National Service Training Program The National Service Training Program was also known as "An Act Establishing the National Service Training Program (NSTP) for Tertiary Level Students, Amending for the Purpose Republic Act No. 7077 and Presidential Decree no. 1706, and for other Purposes" or Republic Act No. 9163. It was signed into law in January 23, 2002 amidst the various calls of dissenting sectors for its abolition or reform. It invoked the constitutional provision regarding the "duty of the state to serve and protect its citizens," specifically Article II (Declaration of Principles and State Policies), Section 2, which states that "The prime duty of the government is to serve and protect the people. The government may call upon the people to defend the state, and in fulfillment thereof, all citizens may be required under conditions provided by law, to render personal military or civil service" (italics supplied). This is the same principle that created and sustained the Reserve Officers Training Corps. The primary objective of the NSTP law is to promote the role of the youth in nation-building. As such, it aims to encourage the youth to become civic and/or military leaders and volunteers whom could be called upon by the nation in cases their services are needed. Compared with the ROTC which specializes in military training, and the E-ROTC which granted three options for students yet was limited in implementation, the NSTP law ensured that the three components...

...from this number, promotions from the grade of E1 to E4 are of no concern to me since they are done at company level and for the most part by time in grade under first line supervisor control. Also promotions to E7 and above I believe to be well administer since for the most part are the comparison of competing members service folders by a promotion panel and at this grade the responsibility swith from being direct like a foreman or section chief to more managerial. The promotion group that is concerning is E5 and E6 promotions. E5 and E6 promotions for the must part are fair taking in consideration factors like physical fitness scores, weapons qualification, performance on the board on military topics, military education, civilian education and military training. All of this topics with different percentage factors. The key part missing to make this a good system is an on the specific military specialty performance part on the system, and one that accounts for a good percentage factor on the equation, let's say at least 25 percent. The main benefits of this move would be a more ready and competent force, where it would be no question as every one that is in charge would be ready to lead their operation better than the next leader on their same level It is to my discontent and to many in the military as you could see if you...

...A furthering apathetic, disconnected public compounded by military illiterate politicians and our progressive cultural autonomy has increasingly polarized our military-civilian relationship. We can address these issues and close the military-civilian gap by reducing forces, reinstating the selective service, creating an environment where military members can openly lobby opinions and instilling a culture shift with the integration and education of the public and its infrastructure. Since the beginning of the millennial era, one in three Americans shares an immediate relation to anyone with a military background compared to three of four Americans pre 1955. This sharp decrease in relation has spurned a society that lacks an emotional investment and sense of ownership in the application of its military. This has led to apathetic decision making by its delegation, with no real consequences to the civilian majority. A vast reduction in troops and reenactment of the selective service is required to reinstall a sense of ownership and emotional attachment from the public. Reduction in troops to a level sizeable enough to accomplish homeland defense and minor expeditious missions would require the public to more closely manage military resources and weigh in on the necessity of conflict much like President Eisenhower and his staff did when United States man power ranked 19th in the world. This reduction in troop levels would also call on the public to engage in foreign policy, as selective...

...Lance Erickson Dr. Grey Peace Action and Nonviolence 12/13/13 Cumulative Essay Throughout the history of the world, we have come to realize that violence is often ubiquitous. Whether it be of domestic concern or international, most nations have, at least at one point in time, had to deal with these conflicts to prevent further damage. How a nation decides to address these sources of violence determines whether or not the conflict will be settled and put to an end, or merely pushed further, in most cases as a means of retaliation. However, in many instances we see these sources of violence to be pushed further, even though it may be unintended, which thus keeps the cycle of violence in our world in constant flow. In order to prevent this perpetuation and continuation of violence from happening, it is important for nations to implement peace action in their response to conflicts. Even though there have been many instances of peace action and nonviolent resistance that have impacted the world we live in, there have been more cases of violent action which outweigh acts of peace and may hold a greater impact on our world. This is why I believe it is safe to say that there is a constant need, or struggle, for peace action and non-violence to be present within all our nations. When looking at all the nations in our world, we see that certain governing and military forces are more influential than others, usually through wealth. Thus, the actions of these forces are...

...I have recently discovered that while living in the present is certainly rewarding, it is doubtlessly fundamental that we consider our pasts and futures as well - what made us who we are, and how will we continue to improve? The Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (JROTC) has advanced in nearly all of the fields it is involved in since its founding in 1916, and it is simple to see that its development will not end here. Cadets have gone on to become professional athletes, renowned scholars, and celebrated members of the military; one can only imagine what inspiring individuals the program will produce in the future. From roughly 1819 to 1915, military training occurred sparingly in high schools and colleges across the nation; although it lacked sanction, it encouraged many students to pursue careers in the armed forces. President Wilson addressed the issue of this unofficial instruction in 1916, when he signed the National Defense Act. The National Defense Act of 1916 is primarily responsible for the creation of JROTC. At the beginning of its existence, active duty military personnel led the Army JROTC program; their tools to lead instruction consisted of federal military equipment loaned to them. Only six units...

...Army Recruiting – Supplying our Nation with Peace Keepers Russell Davidson University of Phoenix MGT 554 Operations Management Kraig Rushing April 17, 2006 Army Recruiting – Supplying our Nation with Peace Keepers One of the oldest and proudest organizations in our nation’s history has been the United States Army. The ever-present guardians of the nation’s liberties and freedoms, the Army has always been there when called upon whether in times of war or peace. This protection our nation is only possible because of those who volunteer to serve. The military continually relies on a constant supply of new personnel to maintain their ability to protect and defend our nation. However, finding those willing to serve and those who are qualified to serve is probably the most difficult task each branch of the military faces. As with any company or organization, the United States Army continually seeks new and brighter applicants who are willing to serve. These applicants make up the individual product produced and supplied to the nation thus ensuring the nations security and freedoms. Sure there are those who are eager to serve but to ensure the Army maintains the required troop strength there must be a system in place to help bring additional personnel into the service and to evaluate the applicant (product) to ensure they meet the minimum standards of the Army. That system is recruiting. Probably the hardest but one of the most rewarding jobs, recruiting helps the Army...

...Current Events Impact on School Counseling Profession Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred December 14, 2012 in Newton, Connecticut. This was one of the deadliest mass shooting at a grade school in the history of the United States. A 20 year old male, Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and 6 adult staffers. Lanza also shot his mother. Lanza committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Lanza had significant mental health issues which psychologist say did affect his ability to live a normal life. (www.CNN.com). Today there are has been more than 100 school shootings since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary. (www.schoolsecurity). Traumatic stress and psychological distress play a major role in counseling children. School counseling has become even more valuable in the U.S. due to traumatic events such as school shootings. School shootings have had a major impact on students, families and communities. There is a more security and law enforcement present at schools across the US and metal detectors in schools also. School children are being taught how to prepare if there is a shooter or shooters in schools. Due to the increased acts of violence in schools and the need for intensive intervention in student issues, school personnel, school boards, and communities are recognizing the need to provide effective prevention and intervention programs to address social, emotional, and academic needs of students. (Davis, T., 2015, Exploring School Counseling). In the next...

...along all parts of the production chain to assure the company success. Some briefings may consist of topics such as employee training, employee’s professional conduct at work, and how to treat prospective customers. Some other briefings may address internal company topics such as sexual harassment in the work place, time management, and others relating to the specific type of work being performed at the company. We must remember though, even if a company looks to be flourishing, doesn’t mean they are fiscally solvent or have an underlying problem within itself. A prime example of a booming business with concealed problems is the United States Air Force. The Air Force sends approximately 35,000 trainees annually to Basic Military Training (BMT) at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. In basic training each flight of trainees receives two Military Training Instructors (MTIs). These MTIs hold the special duty of being the first impression of the Air Force on a brand new enlisted member. MTIs are supposed to be someone you can put full trust in, believe in, and look up to. They play an important role in helping mold an individual into a promising and successful airman. This was obviously not the case for many females going through basic training during the time frame of October 2010-Feburary 2011. During this time frame, more than ten Military Training Instructors, were charged with sexual assault against more than...

...Ashley Zerr Heather Altfeld English 130 18 December 2012 Inquiry Ashley, It’s about ten o’clock here and I couldn’t be anymore exhausted. We were prompted to wake up about four o’clock this morning. We’re all done with the days where all we do is stand in formation and learn how to march correctly, thank god. We have actually been doing some real training but it’s just the basics. Tomorrow (Monday) we get to go through the gas chamber though! So we will see how that goes. From what I hear you stand in there with your mask on, and then you have to take it off for about thirty seconds before you can exit the room. I guess people tend to pass out and throw up everywhere. So it could be some fun! I wish we could do some more repelling or shooting, but that’s not for a couple weeks. I just want to be out of this stupid place and get my phone and everything back. But I just have to be tough for a few more weeks and then it will all pay off. Guess what? I tried to steal a piece of pie in the dining hall at dinner because I wanted something sweet, but I got caught. So now I get no pie at all. They are so strict on what you can eat, you can’t even but Gatorades out of the vending machines. It’s so lame! And as soon as I get off the shuttle to the airport I am buying some candy and a coke. I can’t wait! I feel like I’m in prison. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about you. You’re the one thing keeping me going and all I look forward to when I get leave. I’ve been counting...

...Divya Srivastava THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL COUNSELLOR School counselling is a branch of applied psychology that deals with problems or behaviours that interfere with the academic progress or social acceptance of children in the school system. School counsellors assess cognitive functioning and identify mental retardation, giftedness, developmental delays, instructional difficulties, and learning disabilities. They recommend educational programs; assess behavioural and emotional problems, and support parents and teachers. They also deal with the full spectrum of social problems including family violence, peer interactions, substance abuse, sexual abuse, neglect and the influences of these problems on school functioning. School counsellors act as a screening and referral resource for a wide range of medical, social, and emotional disorders that interfere with academic functioning. In general, school counsellors study behaviour, protect and promote mental health, and apply the principles of psychology to improve school adjustment and learning. Specific services, however, depend on the competencies of the school counsellor and the needs of the particular school system being served (Koe, 1991). For instance, the school where I was placed for my field-work had a school counsellor who also had to fulfil the role of a special educator and a remedial teacher as and when the need arose. School counsellors are employed for the purpose of providing specialized support for students with exceptional...
